The Rock Creek Six

A sexy western historical romance by New York Times bestselling author Lori Handeland.

If you liked the Magnificent Seven, you'll love the Rock Creek Six!

Six elite Confederate soldiers band together after the War Between the States, hiring out their guns to protect lawless towns. Violence is all they know, until they make their way to Rock Creek, Texas.

Mary McKendrick, a headstrong schoolteacher who wants nothing more than to find a home, takes charge when a band of ruffians attempts to destroy Rock Creek.  With very few men left in town following the war, Mary hires Reese, the mysterious and reluctant leader of a band of guns for hire.

Reese is haunted by the war and all he did during it.  The only constant in his life are the five men willing to come whenever he calls them.  They will do anything for each other; they are all they have left.

Though Mary prides herself on managing everyone and anything, she can't manage Reese or her feelings for him.  Reese doesn't believe he is worthy of loyalty and devotion; he certainly isn't worthy of love.  

Can Mary teach him differently?

Fans of Cynthia Roberts, Isabel Keats and Kristy McCaffrey will love this gritty, steamy, emotional tale of the Old West.
